First Post! Uh, I mean, First CHERIoT Silicon!

We have our first chips back! It is very exciting! Spatial and temporal memory safety, fine-grained compartmentalisation, and also a load of other big chips on a board, so you can play 'Where's ICENI?' on the board picture!

First CHERIoT Silicon!

Welcome to the CHERIoT Platform, a hardware-software co-design project that provides game-changing security for embedded devices.

When I first saw a 100 MHz Pentium, I thought it was the end of upgrade cycles. What could you possibly do with a 100 MHz CPU in your computer? And now our first microcontroller is 250 MHz. It also has more RAM than my first PC (Amstrad PC1640). Computers are so fast now!

@david_chisnall my first computer had all of 1kb of ram. The web browser I'm typing this on is currently using up 869376 ZX81s of memory!

@spzb I think the first computer I used was an IBM something or other with an 8080. Not sure how much RAM it had (it was four big blue boxes). The first one I wrote any code on was a BBC Model B, with 32 KiB of RAM. The first PC I owned was an 8086 clone with 640 KiB of RAM. ICENI has more memory than all of these and is at least two orders of magnitude faster.
